Client Story · Singapore<\/div>\n

Nora’s bone density was dropping at 59.
A year of strength training turned it around.<\/h1>\n

A worrying scan sent 59-year-old Nora looking for answers. Her doctor recommended weight training, and within a year her spinal bone density score had improved from -1.6 to -1.0, surprising her own medical team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

A warning from the doctor<\/h2>\n

At 59, Nora had regular back pain and could feel herself losing strength, especially through her back. A visit to her doctor showed her anteroposterior spinal bone density was diminishing and below standard. A number of medical professionals told her the same thing: weight training could help alleviate her symptoms and stop the decline getting worse. She joined ATP the following year, and realising just how much a healthy lifestyle mattered turned out to be an eye-opening experience for her.<\/p>\n

I never enjoyed exercise before, now at 59 years old I am more confident, healthier and love exercising.Nora<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Nora<\/figure>\n

The reading that surprised her doctors<\/h2>\n

A year on, Nora’s follow-up health check brought news she wasn’t expecting. Her doctors, who had flagged the problem in the first place, were just as taken aback by the turnaround as she was.<\/p>\n

This year in my health check report, the bone density miraculously increased, going up from -1.6 to -1.0. I am so surprised and want to say a big thank you to my coach for her effort.Nora<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stronger, and feeling it everywhere<\/h2>\n

The training changed more than one number on a report. Nora feels healthier and more energetic, with far less muscle pain than before and better circulation, and she is continually getting stronger. Healthier eating habits mean her body feels tighter and more defined, which she says makes her look slimmer, and her new figure has given her real confidence. Now that she trains regularly, she also sleeps better than she used to.<\/p>\n

My greatest achievement is increasing my spinal bone density, which I and my doctors were very surprised about.Nora<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Nora<\/figure>\n

A routine that travels with her<\/h2>\n

Regular training is now non-negotiable for Nora. Even on holiday or out of town she keeps to at least two sessions a week, and she has become far more educated about her eating habits and much more conscious of her nutrition. Even out at dinner with friends, she now knows how to manage her food so she can still enjoy the evening and stay on track with her health and fitness goals.<\/p>\n

Improving my health and figure has given me so much more confidence.Nora<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
